CLIVAR Pan American Climate Studies (PACS)

Background

The principal goal of the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR)
Pan American Climate Studies (PACS) is to extend the scope and
improve the skill of operational seasonal-to-interdecadal climate
prediction over the Americas. Forecasts on these time scales allow
decision makers time to anticipate climate effects and develop
strategies to mitigate impacts. Industries such as energy, agriculture,
resource management, tourism, and construction can benefit from improved
understanding of climate processes in this region. ETL contributes to
PACS through studies of the regional atmosphere-ocean dynamics from
ship and satellite based instruments.
